Dice's POV
Ever since Cat got put in jail, I had to wander around Phoenix by myself with no money to buy food. This sucks! When is Sam and Nona gonna be here?! Man, I'm starving!
"Are you lost, little boy?" a female's voice asked.
I turned around to see the most beautiful creature I've ever laid eyes on. She had wavy, dark hair and slightly tanned skin. She looked so perfect. But, she looked about nineteen.
"Hello?" the girl asked, giving me a confused look.
"Huh?" I snapped out of my daze.
"Are you lost?" she repeated slowly.
"Uh, yeah," I said, nodding.
"Well," she bent down next to like I was a little kid. "When was the last time you've seen your mommy?"
Mommy? I thought to myself. How old does she think I am? Five?
"Actually, I was with my friend," I told the lady.
"Well, when's the last time you've seen your friend?" she asked.
"She's in jail," I told her.
The lady gave me another confused look. "In jail?" She raised an eyebrow?
"Yeah."
"How did she end up in jail?"
"She attacked a hair model and ripped out his hair, trying to prove that it was a wig."
The woman continued to stare at me. Finally, she responded. "Okay. Well, you wanna come stay with me until your friend gets out of jail?"
"Yes!" I said quickly and eagerly. "I-I mean, sure. Whatever. Cool beans."
The girl led me to her car and we hopped into the vehicle.
This is gonna be the awesomest day ever! I thought to myself. Wait. Is "awesomest" even a word? Who cares! I'm gonna be staying in a house alone with a hot girl!
